What you'll own
You will be the PM for a product subset. You'll be the accountable owner of "are we building the right thing, in the right order, and shipping it well."
In a typical week you will:
- Run the sprint. Lead sprint planning, refinement, and demos for the defined product pod. Write clean tickets with acceptance criteria. Manage scope when the bug rate spikes (we average ~30% of sprint capacity on bugs today — your job is to help us drive that down through better specs and prioritization, not just absorb it).
- Translate customer feedback into roadmap. Sit in on beta kickoffs, weekly client touchpoints, and Fireflies recaps. Synthesize what customers say into a prioritized backlog that balances must-have adoption drivers against optional enhancements.
- Partner across the org. Work daily with Customer Success on activation and enablement, with Engineering on feasibility and sequencing, with Sales on what we can credibly commit to in deals, and with Innovation on where the platform is headed.
- Write the specs. Produce PRDs, user stories, and lightweight design artifacts (Miro flows, Lovable/Figma mockups, click-through prototypes) that engineers can build from without extensive follow-up.
- Instrument and measure. Partner with our Data team and Heap.io tool to define adoption metrics for every feature you ship. Know whether the thing you built is actually being used a month later.
- Drive go-to-market readiness. Coordinate with CS and Sales on release notes, training materials, demo scripts, and rollout sequencing.
- Be a credible voice in the room. Be a credible voice in the room — with customers, sales prospects, and your own team. You can demo the product, explain the reasoning behind roadmap decisions, and arm sales with the right knowledge on dev lead times so they're set up to make achievable commitments.
What we need from you
This is an early-career role with a high bar. We are not hiring for tenure — we're hiring for someone who has been trained inside a real product organization and is ready to step into ownership.
Must-haves:
- 2–3 years as a Product Manager (or APM) at a product-led company with a formal PM function — meaning you have worked alongside other PMs, learned a real PM operating model, sat through proper sprint ceremonies, and written PRDs that engineers used
- Technical fluency. You don't need to write production code, but you do need to read it, navigate pull requests in Azure DevOps to interpret new changes, understand APIs and data models, write SQL well enough to validate a hypothesis, and have a productive whiteboard conversation with an engineer about trade-offs. Bonus if you've shipped HTML/CSS prototypes in Lovable, Figma Make, or similar.
- End-to-end product lifecycle experience. You have taken at least one feature or product from discovery through spec, build, launch, adoption measurement, and iteration, and you can speak to what went well and what you would do differently.
- Strong written communication. You will write specs, release notes, executive updates, and customer-facing change logs. Clear, concise writing is essential.
- Customer-facing comfort. You'll be in front of health system clients and prospects regularly. You can run a discovery call, demo software, and absorb critical feedback without getting defensive.
- Highly hands-on mindset — not a delegator. You should genuinely enjoy getting into the details: managing the sprint board, writing tickets, partnering with CSMs to debug configuration issues, and jumping on quick calls with beta customers to understand what’s not working.
Nice-to-haves:
- B2B SaaS experience, especially in HR Tech, ATS-adjacent, healthcare, or workflow tools
- Experience launching a product from beta into general availability
- Familiarity with our stack: Heap (analytics), Salesforce (CRM), Microsoft Teams/SharePoint (collab), Fireflies (meeting intelligence), Miro
- Exposure to AI-assisted product development (Claude, perplexity, etc.) — we use these actively
How we work
- Small team, high trust, low politics. Weekly Ops Leadership cadence, weekly CS, dedicated sprint and product reviews.
- Microsoft Teams SharePoint for collaboration. Salesforce for customer truth. Heap for product analytics. Fireflies for meeting capture.
- Two-week sprints. Pod-based delivery. Customers are real partners — not abstractions.
- We protect focus. When we say a resource is dedicated to a pod, we mean it.
